[03:49:36] @ ski guten morgen, fraulein, sushi-chan und Ahsoka

[03:50:12] @ ski who's sadako ?

[03:51:16] @ ski die niebelungen ring ?

[03:51:31] @ ski hm. never heard of that one

[03:51:38] @ ski really

[03:51:53] @ ski indeed :>

[03:52:27] @ ski also called "the ring" (in japanese) ?

[03:52:56] @ ski (for some reason, i'm reminded of the Fatal Frame games. they have japanese ghosts (both women and weremen))

[03:53:05] @ ski hmm .. is that a loanword ?

[03:55:35] @ ski https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zsv5rEIX3gE

[03:57:22] @ ski hm, was the remake with american actors ?

[03:59:47] @ ski https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWofI3jTA7w#t=5m18s

[04:00:46] @ ski mm, tend to prefer originals, with original voices, as well

[04:01:04] @ ski heya CrystalMath

[04:01:32] @ ski often they're of lower quality. even if they try, it's hard to fit in well

[04:01:41] @ ski yes

[04:01:52] @ ski especially if lips are clearly not synched

[04:02:41] @ ski breaks the suspension of disbelief

[04:03:17] @ ski https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7LtLMI13N8

[04:03:51] @ ski Gab is good, she's done her own subtitles (translating from the japanese). she's lived in Japan for some years

[04:04:47] @ ski even if you don't understand what they're saying at all (from the speech), it's still nice to get the general feel of the sound of the language

[04:05:51] @ ski i remember watching Beauty and the Beast, dubbed in, i think, turkish ? with english subtitles, and also some other subtitles partially overlapping that

[04:06:42] @ ski well, this was on VHS

[04:08:11] @ ski sushi-chan : why do you think they do that ?

[04:18:26] @ ski sushi-chan : how common is it, on say national television or so ?

[04:18:36] @ ski hello deadly

[04:21:26] @ ski that sounds horrible :(

[04:22:22] @ ski perhaps too much protectionist policies holding over from earlier ages. maybe combined with envy or something

[23:14:01] @ ski sushi-chan has synaesthesia

[23:14:27] @ ski it's when your senses blend into each other

[23:14:37] @ ski so that you perceive certain sounds as having colors, e.g.

[23:15:09] @ ski well, it's not related to delusion

[23:15:11] @ ski it

[23:15:19] @ ski it's a condition related to the senses

[23:15:47] @ ski it's suspected that some arts people in history have had it, iirc

[23:15:52] @ ski https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synaesthesia

[23:17:27] @ ski but i do understand the desire to have an escape .. which is one reason why i think the representation stuff that's pushed is often bunk

[23:17:40] @ ski (or the "everything is political statement" .. no thanks, please)

[23:18:27] @ ski culture does seem to be in a bit of a lack of creativity. mostly reruns, remakes, reboots, &c.

[23:18:33] @ ski not as much new stories

[23:18:36] @ ski or is this only me ?

[23:20:33] @ ski (i also think there's something to the statement that good fiction is often a condensation of noticing patterns of behaviour, enacting it, so that we, as a culture, can more easily talk about it)

[23:21:57] @ ski sushi-chan : unfortunately, there's a lot of misandry out there (and quite some misogyny as well) .. but it seems to me the way we're currently handling this, as a culture, isn't working that well

[23:22:58] @ ski sushi-chan : you're not the only one, no. but publicly, people having opinions like yours currently don't tend to get heard too much

[23:23:16] @ ski (my mother is a lot like this, fwiw)

[23:24:35] @ ski it's really not that complicated. both women are weremen are humans. there's a lot of shitty humans out there. there's also some admirable ones. most of us have sizable chunks of both good and bad

[23:25:15] @ ski (also, by and large, women and weremen are different, in some respects, while also acknowledging that there's a large overlap, and a large spread of variation)

[23:29:29] @ ski to some extent, people have to be allowed to continue as they're doing, until they tire of it

[23:29:42] @ ski i don't think you're weird, sushi-chan

[23:30:14] @ ski i'd say my mother is probably more "extreme" than you, in some ways

[23:31:30] @ ski it's not that common to hear people voice such concerns publicly, true

[23:31:58] @ ski i remember chatting a little bit with an indian woman here, who declared herself to be anti-feminist

[23:32:35] @ ski my mom's pink

[23:33:20] @ ski it's mostly the media, and i guess also to some extent the higher social classes, which goes on that much about feminism, these days, afaict

[23:33:31] @ ski (well, including culture stuff with the media)

[23:36:00] @ ski iiuc, weremen "manspread", because they need ventilation around their testicles

[23:36:34] @ ski hehe, CrystalMath

[23:36:54] @ ski some appear to be in it, because it's hip

[23:37:10] @ ski i think people have mostly been like that, throughout all of history

[23:38:01] @ ski Icedream : reminds me of that vegan teacher, <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sZEQvF0wRY>

[23:38:28] @ ski sushi-chan : it's good to vent, now and then

[23:39:19] @ ski sushi-chan : for the most part, i think the more positive signs aren't that "loud", goes more under the radar (probably by necessity)

[23:40:01] @ ski it annoys me that shops here have started calling blood orange, "red orange"

[23:40:14] @ ski there's nothing offensive with having "blood" in the name

[23:40:37] @ ski blood grapefruit is also great

[23:41:04] @ ski sushi-chan : all the more reason to expose them to more such names, then !

[23:41:37] @ ski iirc, they only get that way, if there's frost

[23:42:42] @ ski crustaceans have almost haemoglobin .. but instead of iron in it, coloring it red, they have copper (iirc), coloring it blue-green

[23:42:55] @ ski also chlorophyll is similar, but with magnesium

[23:44:09] @ ski i wonder if they idea of nobles having blue blood comes from them not having to work in the fields, and so having more pale skin .. and in some cases, some may've had anaemia

[23:44:30] @ ski (istr hearing some "vampire" people may have had anaemia)

[23:44:52] @ ski sushi-chan : crabs, lobsters, ..

[23:47:52] @ ski CrystalMath : oh, octopi too ? cool :)

[23:48:59] @ ski could make them of transparent plastic, perhaps

[23:49:35] @ ski (apparently the game Dead or Alive has a waterslide thing)

[23:50:56] @ ski naked ?

[23:51:07] @ ski without paint ?

[23:52:18] @ ski Icedream : oh, i meant paint on the water slide

[23:52:45] @ ski Icedream : if you meant going nekkid into the water slide .. i suspect you might be able to flay some skin

[23:53:20] @ ski sushi-chan : well, if they could build a space elevator, why not a space water slide ?

[23:54:04] @ ski well, there's gravity .. it's just that you're in freefall

[23:54:18] @ ski same thing if you're on an aeroplane that's nosediving

[23:54:27] @ ski (people do that, to practice)

[23:55:27] @ ski Icedream : it sounds awkward. i imagine they have to use rubberband things around them, like they already do for gymming in space (which astronauts have to do, to not degenerate their muscle mass quite as quickly)

[23:55:52] @ ski sushi-chan : toilet also has to use vacuum

[23:56:02] @ ski and shower

[23:56:45] @ ski i guess they don't sharpen pencils in space, either

[23:57:45] @ ski .yt how to make a carpet with a loom in space no gravity

[23:58:27] @ ski .. i guess i'm actually normal
